In the early hours of the morning of 7 March, the Bahía Blanca District, located on the southern coast of the province, experienced intense and prolonged rains, reaching a total of more than 300 mm in a sustained period of six hours. During the morning, the official agency raised the Alert Level to Red, in view of the short-term forecasts that foresaw the continuity of rainfall, with an expected accumulation of an additional 100 mm. The course of the Napostá stream, which crosses the city, did not have enough capacity to guarantee adequate rainfall runoff, which caused an overflow that generated significant impacts in 70% of the area.
In terms of its impact, the flood caused partial and total damage to the infrastructure of homes and businesses, light poles, walls, trees, and signs, causing extensive material losses and interruptions in essential services such as medical care, transportation, electricity, gas, fuel, telecommunications, and water supply. |
